Evolution is defined as the change in allele frequencies over time. Thus it has to be multi-generational, as the individuals in a single generation don't change their alleles. Similarly, individuals don't evolve (your genes don't change) and so it has to be a multi-individual process that occurs over multiple generations.

Why is evolution a multigenerational multi individual process?

Because of the way evolution has been defined: the change in allele frequencies in the population gene pool over successive generations. Since change is introduced in the gene pool as a result of reproduction, it is automatically a generational process. And as a single animal can tell us very little about whether its behaviour, morphology and genetics are average or not, evolution must by necessity be measured over populations.

What is the difference between evolution and theories of evolution?

Evolution is the process by which species change over time through natural selection. Theories of evolution, such as Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, are explanations for how evolution occurs and the mechanisms driving it. In essence, evolution is the phenomenon, while theories of evolution are the explanations for how it happens.

Did planets have evolution?

Planets form, and they undergo changes as they age. This process of change might be termed 'geological evolution', but this should not be confused with biological evolution, which is an entirely different kind of process.


What are common misconceptions about evolution?

Common misconceptions about evolution include thinking that it is a random and purposeless process, that humans evolved from monkeys, and that evolution is always a slow process. In reality, evolution is a non-random process driven by natural selection, humans did not evolve from monkeys but share a common ancestor, and evolution can occur rapidly in response to environmental pressures.
